Chapter 54 Before the Moon Lord completely degenerates into a ghost , he still ...
Before he completely degenerated into a ghost , he still couldn't believe that this was his fate .
He lay on the ground like a defeated dog with nowhere to go . Wuzan had a faint smile on his face that showed no emotion . He pulled his hair and forced him to look at him . A low voice fell into his ears : " Why don't you look at your masterpiece ? "
The stench was that of corpses piled up all day without being dealt with . His body was trembling slightly , his mind was blank , and his eyes were forced to move . He saw in front of him the cannibals enjoying a feast .
And the ingredients for the feast are his own kind .
The entire Tokyo Prefecture turned into a hell on earth .
Ashes swirled past his head . Not far away , Kokushibo stood on the roof , holding the strangely shaped long sword . He seemed to have sensed something and looked in the direction of Muzan , his six inhuman pupils moving .
It was a moonlit night .
This was the first ending of Fujiwara Tomoichi . In countless reincarnations thereafter , he could never escape this ending . He was killed by a demon , or his memory was controlled by Muzan . Only death was waiting for him . The only difference was how many people were taken with him to be buried .
He hid in Fujiwara Prefecture , and that night the man -eating ghosts attacked and the Fujiwara Prefecture was massacred .
He wanted to fly away and leave this place with cannibal ghosts , but every train he boarded was the incarnation of an infinite train , and he was eventually buried in the belly of a ghost .
He once again joined the Demon Slayer Corps , carefully revealed the so - called " prophecy " , and stuck to the three little ones . This time he lived a lot longer , but he would definitely encounter demons if he followed the protagonists .
— —It was just a scratch , and Muzan captured his memory in an instant .
The tragedy of the first life is repeated .
But that time he met a ghost , Tamayo , whom he didn't take seriously .
He wanted to create a creature that was not controlled by Muzan , and that would have abilities close to those of a demon , in order to fight against Muzan .
After several reincarnations , he found Zhu Shi and continued this research .
Perhaps it was because he was moved by the future " predicted " by Fujiwara Tomokazu , or perhaps it was for other reasons , but in every life , Tamayo agreed to Fujiwara Tomokazu 's request to study the second type of creatures .
He was already crazy , and he would do anything to realize that idea .
The fate of being killed by demons seemed like an inescapable cycle . He counted the remaining time and tried hard to remember Tamayo 's research progress so as to reduce the wasted time before the next life began .
By extracting the flesh and blood of ghosts and mixing them with corpses , Fujiwara Tomokazu wanted to replicate the medicine that Muzan took a thousand years ago and become the second Ghost King .
The previously desperate cycle seemed to finally have a glimmer of hope . When the ghosts flattened Tamayo 's mansion , Fujiwara Tomokazu lay on the ground with his body broken , staring at the moon and laughing wantonly .
" I ... succeeded . " At the last moment before being swallowed by the ghost , his throat vibrated and he made a sound .
A figure appeared on the retina .
Fujiwara Tomokazu stared at the door . The person who came in was holding a red umbrella . His silver hair was blown by the wind , and there was no big fluctuation on his pale and handsome face .
The ghost that was gnawing at him fled in panic out of fear .
Fujiwara Tomokazu turned over with difficulty and looked at the sickly young man walking towards him . Blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth , but he didn't care .
He smiled and called out to the man affectionately , " Brother Xiaozhu , you 're here . "
The young man frowned , stood about a meter and a half away from him , and looked down at this old friend who was no longer in human form .
Fujiwara Tomokazu raised his head and spoke haltingly , " I ... do n't ... believe in that bullshit ... fate ... "
That cold face came into view and gradually overlapped with reality .
The interwoven black and white flames soared on the blade , a breathing sword technique that Fujiwara Tomokazu had never seen before .
He smiled and took a few steps back : " Brother Xiaozhu , you are still too slow . "
In front of him , the black-clothed monsters around him pounced on him in an instant , and even the curse spirit was caught in vain . Those monsters formed a wall to block the slash for Fujiwara Tomokazu .
A cold breath lingered in front of him , and Fujiwara Tomokazu narrowed his eyes ... ... such power , unfortunately he had not been in contact with the Demon Slayer Corps for a long time , so it was difficult to judge how this slash compared to other breathing sword techniques .
The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground was heard , and Fujiwara Tomokazu 's pupils shrank . He looked at the " ghosts " blocking his way , who were neatly chopped into two pieces and fell to the ground .
The slowdown in speed brings a more terrifying power than other sword skills .
He glanced at the open space next to him . There was a special -grade cursed spirit there . A curse must have appeared in the place he couldn't see . He couldn't just sit here and wait for death .
Seeing Fujiwara Tomoichi take out a ball in his hand , the real person reacted instantly and dragged Urobe Nagisa out of the repair shop .
The impact of the gunpowder explosion was so strong that even though the real person reacted quickly enough , he was still hit by the shattered fragments .
Amidst the billowing smoke , the repair shop still stood firm in the wilderness .
As soon as he stood on the ground , Bo Yezhu looked up and saw another group of men in black appearing in front of the repair shop over there .
The real person whispered , " That 's no longer a human being . "
Fujiwara Tomokazu emerged from the billowing smoke , his gaze paused , and he looked behind Usuoba Nagisa .
The shadow of the crow circling in the air was too obvious . The support of the Demon Slayer Corps had arrived , but he did n't expect that the protagonists did not go to the Infinite Train , but came here .
Noticing Fujiwara Tomokazu 's gaze , Usuoba Nagisa turned around and saw the three young men running towards her , and her expression relaxed .
" Mr. Uroba ! We followed the Crow ! " Tanjiro shouted .
Bo Yezhu tilted his head : " You go and rescue the workers in the repair shop , we can handle it here . " These three teenagers made him less worried about hurting ordinary people .
" yes ! "
Fujiwara Tomokazu narrowed his eyes . Assigning tasks in front of him really showed that he was not taken seriously .
Although these creations of his have some demon blood flowing in their bodies , they are not as afraid of Yoriichi Tsugikuni as those demons .
Black shadows gathered and blocked the way of Tanjiro and his companions . The black surface seemed to be mucous membrane , and something inside was about to break out . Twisted limbs grew out , and then it stood up staggeringly , with a piece of skin hanging on the skeleton . Its appearance was even more disgusting than a ghost .
The three little ones drew their swords one after another , and Tanjiro , who was in the lead , frowned tightly . In his sight , there were only a dozen disgusting monsters , but his sense of smell told him that there were at least hundreds of monsters hiding here .
Are these monsters also afraid of the Sun Blade and beheading ?
His grip on the Nichirin Sword tightened slightly .
" Heaven 's Destiny · Swirl Style · Fourth Form · Dustless · Rolling Sea— "
The eyes were filled with impenetrable sword lights , and the wave-like slashes were densely packed together . The white flames covered the edges , as if a huge wave was surging , sweeping across the ground in an instant , and those creatures with twisted limbs were split into four or five pieces in the blink of an eye .
The young man 's sharp voice rang out : " Do you want extreme speed ? "
The haori fluttered , and the figure was almost impossible to catch . Fujiwara Tomokazu 's expression was slightly solemn . He quickly took a few steps back . Several cracks appeared where he had just stood , and were embedded under the grass .
The black -haired young man gritted his teeth , pulled out the long-handled pipe from his waist , and blocked it in time when the blade fell . With a few clangs , he had blocked several attacks .
He had no time to take care of the three little ones . Most of the creatures around him were blocked by the real person , and he had to deal with Bo Yezhu 's attack alone .
The approaching blade forced him to dodge to the other side .
Bo Yezhu 's voice was very close : " You are stalling for time . "
Fujiwara Tomoichi met those orange eyes , smiled , and readily admitted , " That 's right . "
As soon as the words fell , a sound of breaking air rang out from his eardrums . Bo Yezhu 's pupils shrank , and the string in his mind instantly tightened . The alarm sounded , and every cell in his body clamored to escape .
yes- -
He heard the sound of a knife entering flesh , very close .
Without much thought , he realized who had blocked the fatal blow for him . Rage rose in his heart , mixed with fear , and he kicked Fujiwara Tomokazu in front of him away . Under the huge force , Fujiwara Tomokazu was caught off guard and flew out .
" A quick ... reaction . " The blade was withdrawn , and the evil ghost's low and slow tone sounded . Under the moonlight , the real ruler was wearing a dark purple riding hakama , his palm pressed on the long sword hanging at his waist . The previous surprise attack did not kill the human , and he did not entangle with it , and immediately retreated to a safe position .
Bo Ye Zhu grabbed Zhenren , his face filled with fear : " Zhenzhen ... "
The blade of the Void Crying God left several bloody holes in the Curse Spirit . The True Man breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head : " It 's okay , things are a bit troublesome . "
Fortunately , it was blocked . He couldn't imagine what would happen to him if Kokushibo 's blade really pierced into Urobuchi Nagisa 's body .
Kokushibo 's six strange pupils flashed with strange light under the moonlight . The red sclera seemed to be translucent , and the words " Upper Rank Ichi " were engraved in the golden pupils . His gaze shifted and fell on Fujiwara Tomokazu who stood up shakily not far behind Usoba Nagisa .
The person behind the matter that Lord Muzan asked him to investigate must be this human .
A flash of doubt passed through his eyes . In the transparent world of his six pupils , he could see how twisted the creatures summoned by Fujiwara Tomokazu were . They had similarities with cannibals in their bodies , but had completely lost their human characteristics .
How do pure humans drive these creations ?
Kokushibo pursed his lips and silently conveyed the message to Muzan Kibutsuji .
There is still that monster here . Xu Kushen hit it just now , but it seems that it is not seriously injured . In fact , the wounds are healing at a speed visible to the naked eye .
As for the other four swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps , he didn't take them seriously at all .
His fingertips tapped the hilt of Xu Kushen 's knife , and the pupils on it began to move slightly , as if coming to life .
If the Land Form and the Eighth Form are used at the same time , there is a 60% chance that these people can be killed .
The ghost made up his mind and immediately disappeared from the spot .
There was a fierce look in the master's eyes . He thought that letting Urobe Nagisa fight with Fujiwara Tomokazu could be considered as his indulgence , but if he faced Kokushibo , he would definitely not be careless .
The shadow of a crow cuts through the night sky .
Near the repair shop , three little creatures were struggling to kill each other , shouting at the workers to evacuate while dealing with the creatures ' desperate attacks .
Suddenly , Zenitsu Agatsuma seemed to notice something , turned his head and opened his eyes wide .
At the same time , Tanjiro smelled an unprecedented sense of terror .
That smell is almost second only to Muzan Kibutsuji — it ’s an upper rank ! It must be an upper rank !
The ground here was relatively flat , and they could see the scenery over there .
A three- meter - long alien was fighting with an evil ghost in human form . The sky was filled with crescent-shaped slashes , and large and small holes kept appearing on the ground . The two figures were so fast that only afterimages were left . If the alien had not been much larger in size , they would have had no idea of the battle .
" How can we possibly defeat such a terrifying power ?! " Zenitsu Agatsuma 's dejected voice was heard .
